Cascading Style Sheets
In my fourth IS lesson, I learnt how to use simple CSS to format a website. We focused on external style sheets, instead of internal style sheets and inline style sheets. With one external style sheet, the appearance of multiple other HTML files that are linked to it can be changed. Additional codes need to be added to the html document: the DOCTYPE and CSS external style sheet link, which links to the CSS file located in the same folder as the HTML file. The DOCTYPE means "document type declaration" which declares which version of HTML the document adheres to. HTML 4 comes in three flavors, each with a different DOCTYPE. They are namely: HTML 4 Strict, HTML 4 Transitional and HTML 4 Frameset.Our Assignment 4 was the CSS Challenge. Using the file for the HTML Challenge, our class work together in pairs to format the website by adding appropriate styling, comments and reflections. After working with my partner for Assignment 3, we completed the assignment together more smoothly and faster without any discrepancies.
